Ubisoft is not a great advocate for the industry, in my opinion. I buy their games occasionally, since they own some of my favorite franchises. I also occasionally pirate them first to see if they are unplayable console ports, or have game-breakingly bad bugs or performance-- which they consistently do. I know I probably don't represent the average pirate, just throwing that out there.

It really saddens me to see what Ubisoft has done to some of my favorite franchises. I loved Anno 1404, played it tons. Haven't bought (or played) Anno 2070 because of the awful DRM. I loved the Silent Hunter series. Played 3 and 4 for countless hours. I didn't buy (or play) 5 because of the DRM. IL-2 Sturmovik is one of the greatest flight sims of all time. Cliffs of Dover is an abomination. Meanwhile, after Lock On: Modern Air Combat, the developer split from Ubisoft and went on to make two of the greatest flight sims of the past decade in the DCS series (and they're still going strong). Not even Ubi's $1 sale could get me to install their client and buy theirs games.
